Aftershock

by Mia Mac

"Aftershock was not originally inspired by my experiences as a 'child of the storm.' It was a therapeutic endeavor following a breakdown that I envisioned would lead me to my breakthrough. As I interrogated the patterns of despair in my life, I rediscovered my strength. If I made it through the storm before, surely I'd make it through again. Aftershock is an affirmation, a way of speaking life into myself, a reminder of where I've been, and a compass pointing me to where I must go."
